Press releases

Press releases are intended to inform the general public and journalists in an accessible style, about matters of media interest or which have an impact on the lives of citizens. They also cover major institutional events.
The Court also produces résumés of the most important decisions. Résumés are primarily intended for an informed public, particularly lawyers, who wish to have a more detailed overview of the decisions adopted by the Court of Justice and the General Court.
